Alex Tong

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Beside the point-of-view issue by article creator User:Alex Tong26, the team is barely a semi-pro team (third tier down in BAFL) and therefor individual players aren't notable for inclusion on Wikipedia. Looking through several other team pages, I see no other players that have their own page. -- moe.RON   Let's talk  19:34, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I think you mean conflict of interest not point of view. The article was originally nominated for CSD, but there is a claim of importance/significance, and to my knowledge there hasn't been any discussion on what makes an American Football player notable in the British system.  While I don't think this player is worthy of an article, it is definitely not a CSD candidate.  The claim of being the Offensive MVP for a professional league is a claim of significance.--- I'm Spartacus!  NO! I'm Spartacus! 20:10, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, I can see how you would think that, but this is now an AFD discussion, so anything about the CSD is moot now. -- moe.RON   Let's talk  20:13, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. I found one reliable source about the Berkshire Renegades that mentions Tong in passing. Unfortunately this is not enough to establish notability. Axl  ¤  [Talk]  19:07, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
